The Switch is slowly but surely gathering a mighty collection of LEGO games - some franchise-based, others original ideas - and a selection of these are currently on offer on the North American Nintendo eShop.

Not all LEGO games have been included (with the recently released The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame understandably missing out amongst others), but there are some very fine options available indeed. Here are those chosen games and the prices you need to know:

Ryan’s that annoying kind of guy in multiplayer games - you know the one, the kind of person that throws a temper tantrum if he can’t be Yoshi in Mario Kart or gets stuck with the controller with the dodgy button. Yeah, that kind.

I only play LEGO CITY undercover due to Normal looking outfits such as Police, Construction worker, Farmer, Miner, etc. ZERO interest with Western movie franchises like Harry Potter / Lego Movie / Jurrasic World or Western superhero LEGO games.

Regardless of the theme they are all essentially the same game. On the 360 I'd buy and 100% complete everyone of these but since I got back to playing Nintendo games, there's too many better experiences out there

Got LEGO City and Harry Potter some time ago for about $20 each, which is a pretty fair price IMO.

There's not a lot of affordable AAA productions from big studios at that price on the Switch (most are at around $80 and stay there for a pretty long time). While indie games can get quite good and some can almost be seen as true classics, they often lack the production values big games from big studios come with. They are often smaller in scope too (which isn't a bad thing, just a characteristic most of them share).

If you love collect-a-thon games and obsess over completing games to 100%, the LEGO games will usually provide you with many hours of fun.

Although I agree some of them are sometimes a bit "meh". The first Lego Marvel Superheroes was awesome. The second one, not so much. Still fun, but I found it was easy to lose interest in it.

The Harry Potter collection is very cool though. I only wish they'd put out the LEGO Star Wars ones. Or a LEGO Batman Trilogy. I tend to like the earlier LEGO games better. When they didn't try to put too much stuff in those games, I think it made them more "focused", whatever that means. lol!

@Anti-Matter I don't know about the games but Harry Potter movies are probably the best movie saga ever. Extremely good quality movies with deep story and lore and they are suited for both children and adults.

I really enjoyed Lego City Undercover on Wii U. Would consider double dipping as the Switch version allows me to play the game without being forced to use the Gamepad which is rather heavy for long play sessions. Shame it's not Europe though.

@Anti-Matter They all play the same Lego Star Wars on the PS2, and people complain about COD using the same engine/gameplay?

I won't buy another Lego game intill they actually make NEW Lego game that isn't just a skin pack for Lego Star Wars.

Whatever happen to Lego Racers? or Lego Island? or any of the original idea Lego games? they all used to be different and didn't feel the same.

even Lego Worlds is plays just like the PS2 ones, just with a endless open world filled with nothing, and poor mans level builder's tools

Lego City Undercover was alright nice to see them do something without a license series stuck onto it, even if the gameplay is still the same, just with some Gamepad stuff

Lego dimensions wasn't perfect but at least you mix and match characters/cars from the packs you brought.

anyway wake me up when they decide to make something original with Lego or if TT Games makes something other then another reskined Lego game, they used to make some really good Disney games just look at the Toy Story stuff, if they make Toy Story I bet you a pound to a penny it be another a reskinned Lego game. >.<
